I’m excited I have my advent calendar preordered! And you saw snow!!! Beautiful scenery. And I love all the charms. And I never thought of the ornament as charm until this video. Just before you said it I saw where we were going. Brilliant idea! I love your green top also💚
Very cool idea, Autumn. Those little crocheted animals Are so stinking cute! There is some beautiful and amazing scenery where you are. Thanks for sharing everything.
I have a couple felted crate and barrel ornaments I use as bag charms, the best part about using those is they are soft and will not scratch your bag like a metal charm or a charm with crystals will do.
Yes!! I just bought a slew of Christmas ornaments a few weeks ago… not for my tree (which isn’t even up yet), but for my bags! Some were as cheap as $3.00, so I went crazy. Lol Great minds think alike! 😉👍🏾
First, I love that green sweater / top on you ! 💚👍💚 Second, your ornaments are lovely as bag charms ! 🤗 If you are sure you won't use them as ornaments, you could buy keychains (meaning just the ring and the chain) from for example a craft store or eBay / Amazon and sew them on to the figure instead of the yarn. 👍 Third, you guys really find the loveliest places to visit ! 💚🤗💚
Your doxie charms are adorable! I love how you had them facing each other on your bag. I love your felt charms, too! Brilliant idea to use the o-ring on the ornament. I can't wait to try this!!!
Love the ornament bag charms! That’s a great idea, especially with the holidays coming up. Also appreciate you sharing the pics-Oregon is so beautiful 😻
One of my favorite bag charms is an old charm bracelet I made on my first trip to Walt Disney World! I bought clips on Amazon to help my attach it to my bag. So fun to see creative ways to turn ordinary objects into bag charms!
I’ve made so many bag charms using ornaments especially for Christmas! You can literally make them out of anything like old jewelry, I’ve used old cameos the pin back fell off of, an earring that I had lost the other one, part of an old necklace that did not tarnish when the rest did, and an old locket. I used a patch that I could not ever find a clothing item for now I can put it on any bag! Last on should be for more durable bags only but crystals that you hang in the window make some sparkly charms.
Now your bag charms can be Christmas tree ornaments as well. The O rings could hang on a branch. Dual purpose pieces.🥰🥰🥰 The new ones you bought are too cute.🦝🦨
To flip it around a bit, one thing we did the last time we traveled overseas was to collect keychains (which I tend to do anyway) and have turned those into Christmas ornaments, so I have an Ampelmann set from Berlin, some Hungarian dolls from Budapest, a curling puck from Canada, a cuckoo clock from Germany... it's a lot of fun. The ones you found are adorable as well. I would recommend maybe a thicker string of some sort as that jute may not be as strong as you need. Cute idea though!
Great video, great idea! Loved the pics with your mom. I found a chain belt with charms at TJMAXX once and made bag charms by detaching lengths of the chain and adding O- rings. If you can thread a needle, you can whip stitch the needed length of chain to the top of any fabric ornament, add your O-ring and you're set! 😊
I don't do bag charms even though I like them! It did occur to me that items can be attached, I thought by using one of those clip things! Thank you for the video!
That’s a great idea, and I have thought of it but I worried that the string might break on the ornaments. I think it’s possible to attach something to secure it better just in case.
Love your brilliant idea! And your choice of excursions with your mom looked fantastic! If you haven’t already, this time of year is my favorite to go to Willamette Valley Vineyards. It’s just outside Salem in turner Oregon. The views are incredible, my favorite Pinot in the world is from there called, Whole Cluster. I’m pretty lucky it’s basically in my backyard. Anyway, another ideas as you keep exploring your new homeland.
I love your videos and that’s a really cool idea. Is there anyway you can do a video on the difference in buying bags between the outlets and the store? What’s different quality etc.
I hadn’t thought of this until your video! And I feel kinda dumb having spent A LOT of money on my Coach charm collection, however it’s a beautiful collection. 😊. My eyes are wide open now, on the hunt! Oh! Amazon has dupes of the Coach cherries 🍒, I bought one just for fun and it’s very close to the OG!
I have to admit that the minute I saw the PLG Doxie charms, "Autumn!" popped into my head, glad to see you got them. Funny story, last year I had a little Christmas ball hanging off one of my bags along with another charm. I'd gone out to eat with a friend and after I got home, I realized the little Christmas ball was missing. I wasn't too concerned about it since it was just a cheap one out of some stuff in my holiday decor. Fast forward months later...went to pay my bill at this same restaurant and there is my little Christmas ball hanging up by the cash register. I didn't bother asking for it back, I have plenty of them but it cracked me up that I hadn't noticed it there before. Did it take them that long to find it?????
I noticed you have a epi Montague in black! I was about to buy one from real real but I can’t find any videos on it . Could you tour it in one of your videos? 🙂
I think I might be afraid that the string hanging loop might break. You could maybe replace it, by firmly attaching the chain end of a keyring-and-chain component, by sewing the chain end into a seam of the ornament...?
Autumn, I love all of your animal charms!..especially the deer, the bird, the racoon and the skunk. It's too hard to pick a favorite!
Making memories with Mom is always priceless! ❤
Great charm idea adding O rings and knitted charms are so cute!! TFS 🤗
We had such a great time! I wish she could visit more often.
It was so great to see photos of your mom and Paul. They look great and I'm glad you had a good time.
Thank you, we had a lovely time.
I am so happy that you had a great time with your Mom. You look rested and peppy !
Also lapel pins, bracelets & necklaces!😍🌻
Omg 😲 the 😍 cutest dachshund, too.
Oh my! How cute!
Thank you. :)
Well I didn’t think I was gonna indulge in the bag charm trend, but now I’ve changed my mind. Thanks, Autumn! 😂
Adorable choices! Great ideas!
Thank you. :)
Great video! You look awesome and rested and I love the Rexy Paul got for you!
Brilliant idea❤

Great video Autumn 🥰 Excellent idea!!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked it.
Great idea. 🎄
Thank you for sharing ❤️ fantastic idea...loved all your new charms..
The destinations you visited looked amazing and the hot chocolate...delicious ❤
The trip was amazing. We had so much fun. Hard to find a place in Oregon that isn't stunningly beautiful.
Absolutely brilliant realization ! You took your Mom to all the best places!❤️ I know you all had a wonderful time together!
Thank you so much! She was a great travel buddy.
I’m excited I have my advent calendar preordered! And you saw snow!!! Beautiful scenery. And I love all the charms. And I never thought of the ornament as charm until this video. Just before you said it I saw where we were going. Brilliant idea! I love your green top also💚
Thank you...for everything! :)
How cute and fun idea! :Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. :)
I love those as bag charms! I’ll have to go look for cute ornaments 😅
That Autumn,is brilliant❣️What a fantastic idea..I’ll go hunting too for more “bag charms “! Thank you for sharing this with us.🙏🏻🥰
Brilliant idea autumn!! I’m def going to try this ❤❤
Thank you! I hope you love it. :)
I love the lamb, too cute, enjoy 🤗💜
Thank you. I couldn't pass it up.
Very cool idea, Autumn. Those little crocheted animals Are so stinking cute! There is some beautiful and amazing scenery where you are. Thanks for sharing everything.
I can't resist woodland animals and dinosaurs. Yes, it's difficult to find a place in Oregon that isn't strikingly gorgeous.
Those felted animals are stinking adorable! The charcuterie board!!!
Thank you. :)
The skunk was stinking cute ❤️
That's definitely the most stinking cute one! 🤣
Love the charms and the idea to use ornaments
Cute ideas. I got a silver Tiffany bird charm earlier this year and now I'll use it as a bag charm. Thanks Autumn
Good idea! Just make sure it's secure. :)
So smart with the ornament hack!!
oooh awesome idea actually. it had not crossed my mind!
What is wrong with us that almost none of us have thought of this!?!
Amazing video. Love shots of the trip. Yes your mom definitely needs that bag. Should get her the little change purse to go with
She really does. Good idea!
I love all of your new charms/ornaments. I make bag charms and bag chains from thrift store Jewelry. It's fun and really inexpensive.
Great idea!
I found the charcuterie board and even a loaf of French bread on Etsy. I found other cute ones too! Great idea. Can’t wait to get mine.
etsy has such cute stuff! I get in too much trouble there. ;)
@ me too!
I love this idea ❤
Thank you. :)
Such a wonderful idea! Those are adorable. xoxo
Thank you. :)
❤❤❤ arraignment behind you! You look lovely as well ❤
You are too kind! Thank you.
Good idea 👍🏽
Thank you. :)
I think your the first to think of this, amazing idea!!
Thank you. :)
These are fun ideas for bag charms. Thanks for the video. I loved your pictures of your trip.
Thanks for watching! I love a good bag charm and we had so much fun with my mom.
Such cute ideas! I love Cannon Beach! It’s really evolved into a great place with unique shops. Glad your mom came for a visit. ❤
I love Cannon Beach, too. It's my favorite. Lincoln City is a close second. Completely different vibe and I enjoy them both.
I have a couple felted crate and barrel ornaments I use as bag charms, the best part about using those is they are soft and will not scratch your bag like a metal charm or a charm with crystals will do.

1. Thank you. 2. Great idea! 3. It's not hard in Oregon!
Your doxie charms are adorable! I love how you had them facing each other on your bag. I love your felt charms, too!
Brilliant idea to use the o-ring on the ornament. I can't wait to try this!!!
So glad you like the idea!
Awesome idea! I’m headed to Golden Corral to pick up some new ornies now.
Great idea 💡 😊💚
Thank you!
@@AutumnBeckman your welcome
Lovely little critters! I think the grey crocheted one is a dragon, non a dinosaur, but it is still lovely!
Someone else said stegasaurus. They both make more sense than a t-rex. Thanks for your interpretation!
Love the ornament bag charms! That’s a great idea, especially with the holidays coming up. Also appreciate you sharing the pics-Oregon is so beautiful 😻
Thank you. :)
I never thought about that either 😳😂❤️
It's so simple and there are so many options. Why didn't we think of it before!?!
Yep, I've been stalking West Elm ornaments; they have some very cute ones that can be easily converted into bag charms .
That's a great idea! I'll have to check them out.
Great video!
Thank you. :)
I have never seen anyone use ornaments as a bag charm it is brilliant. I will be out looking for my options. Great idea
There are so many options!

That is such a great idea. I've never thought of using old cameos!
Great idea!!! I would swap that cord out for leather lace.... cause why not! :)
Great idea!
Now your bag charms can be Christmas tree ornaments as well. The O rings could hang on a branch. Dual purpose pieces.🥰🥰🥰 The new ones you bought are too cute.🦝🦨
That is such a great idea! I love how versatile bag charms can be.
@@AutumnBeckmanornaments on your bags and bag charms on your tree.🥰😂
Those O-rings are game changers. I have the Walmart version of an LV speedy and I neeeeeed that Spa Rat ornament from Michael’s last year for it.
I had to google the spa rat. So cute!
The grey dinosaur is a stegosaurus, with those triangular plates on its back. Great idea to make ornaments or tiny animals into bag charms.
Oh, I think you might be right. Someone else suggested it's a dragon. Both make more sense than t-rex.
Bag charms are so easy to make if you have the stuff as most crafters or artists have.
100%
I have been so into bag charms lately! I got the cute little terrier dog this week from PLG.
To flip it around a bit, one thing we did the last time we traveled overseas was to collect keychains (which I tend to do anyway) and have turned those into Christmas ornaments, so I have an Ampelmann set from Berlin, some Hungarian dolls from Budapest, a curling puck from Canada, a cuckoo clock from Germany... it's a lot of fun. The ones you found are adorable as well. I would recommend maybe a thicker string of some sort as that jute may not be as strong as you need. Cute idea though!
What a great idea!!!
Great idea! Btw the raccoon has a lantern so he can did through the trash at night. He’s a trash panda 😉
That is hilarious! 😂
Great video, great idea! Loved the pics with your mom. I found a chain belt with charms at TJMAXX once and made bag charms by detaching lengths of the chain and adding O- rings.

Thanks, Daniel!
Very nice! Random question- I'm wondering what you think about sling bsgs???
That’s a great idea, and I have thought of it but I worried that the string might break on the ornaments. I think it’s possible to attach something to secure it better just in case.
Yes, it wouldn't be too difficult to add a different type of connector.
Love your brilliant idea! And your choice of excursions with your mom looked fantastic! If you haven’t already, this time of year is my favorite to go to Willamette Valley Vineyards. It’s just outside Salem in turner Oregon. The views are incredible, my favorite Pinot in the world is from there called, Whole Cluster. I’m pretty lucky it’s basically in my backyard. Anyway, another ideas as you keep exploring your new homeland.
We'll definitely have to visit. We've been to the tasting room in Lake Oswego several times but not the vineyards yet.
I love your videos and that’s a really cool idea. Is there anyway you can do a video on the difference in buying bags between the outlets and the store? What’s different quality etc.
Great idea. I'll add that to my list. :)
I use AirTag charms on my bags.
Autumn What fun ideas!! Great Idea Where did you find the little skunk with the back pack?
It was at one of our local grocery stores called New Seasons.
I got my snoopy Christmas ornament as handbag charm. Looks lovely on my Kate spade bag. I don’t need te o ring ust knot it on the handle.
That's so clever!
Hmmm some Christmas tree ornaments 😊
So many options!
Or find old jewelry that is a chain, take it apart. Sew it on to ornaments into charms, add o ring on top!
Great idea!
I hadn’t thought of this until your video! And I feel kinda dumb having spent A LOT of money on my Coach charm collection, however it’s a beautiful collection. 😊. My eyes are wide open now, on the hunt! Oh! Amazon has dupes of the Coach cherries 🍒, I bought one just for fun and it’s very close to the OG!
Coach makes the best charms that are actually charms. ;)
I have to admit that the minute I saw the PLG Doxie charms, "Autumn!" popped into my head, glad to see you got them.

That's wild! There will always be a little piece of you there. 🤣 How fun.
❤❤❤
Thank you. :)
I noticed you have a epi Montague in black! I was about to buy one from real real but I can’t find any videos on it . Could you tour it in one of your videos? 🙂
Do you mean the epi montaigne? It's in a dark purple. I haven't done a video on it yet but I will. Not sure when.
Omg I took pictures yesterday to email to you of the dog charms😅
Thanks for thinking of me. :)
Hi, love the content. New viewer. Can you cover exotic leather purses luxary or affordable versions please.
I'll add that idea to my list. ;)
I think I might be afraid that the string hanging loop might break. You could maybe replace it, by firmly attaching the chain end of a keyring-and-chain component, by sewing the chain end into a seam of the ornament...?
Great idea. :)
I have used the single earing left
My initial thoughts were..where is the Keychain loop/hook?
Why wasn't that one of my initial thoughts, too!?!
Screw is called Chicago Screw
Thanks for identifying that!
I think your turnip is an onion and bird is Eurasian Blue Tit
I wondered whether it was an onion, too. I googled photos and decided on turnip but it's up for debate. Thanks for identifying the bird!
What fun! OMG The Overlook! 😱🪓 I have some of those round clips from DUYP, I'm going to go round the house to see what I can clip to them! 😅
You have some fabulous ornaments. I'm sure you'll come up with great things.
